If I have a 29/29.5 draw with my recurve will a 60" bow be too short for me? Just curious.

I like 60'' recurves and draw 29'' I'm sure many will say 62 or 64'' as longer generally means less finger pinch and more forgiving but the 60'' recurve seems to feel right to me.

I have a 56" 50# Grizzly that gives me heck, but I tried a 60" 50 lbr at the shop that seemed smooth as butter. What about a 60" Kodiak?

As noted - depends on the bow. I draw 30" and my Ben Pearson Hunter of 58" AMO is fine with that. My 60" Dream Catcher stops at 30", which is OK (keeps me from a high "adrenaline shot"). I have two Bears of 60" and both are fine at 30" draw - one is a Gainsville Kodiak and the other a Grayling Kodiak Hunter).

In most designs you would like the feel of 64" bows.

Elk Whisperer got it. Depends on which bow you are talking about. All bows aint created equal. I know of some 56" bows you would be ok with and I know of some that you would need a 62" at least.
